Some time back I posted several pieces about public transit in my home town, Chicago. I have since found that there's more to be said, in this case shown. Here are videos of rides on the city's L trains, the elevated railways, operated by the Chicago Transit Authority.
The first ride is a trip in the Loop, the city's downtown business and entertainment district. I particularly like this one because of the camera placement--in the front of the lead car. The sensation of going around a curve causes momentary wonderment (panic?): Are we going off the tracks and will we fall to the street below? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oAVx6It5MM
The second ride is a morning, wintertime trip that a commuter might take. This ride comes with colorful snowflake patterns on the window. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-k5h-SfjNU&list=PL0sTc_CuqtURaOftjTXX5iRMCOasE1M9&index=14
I have ridden both of these routes, years ago. However, I rarely rode the L to go to the Loop, because the subway was faster as was a commuter train on the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad.
